GUARD DUTY (FTNGD) UNDER 32 USC 502(f)(2) (OTHER DUTY) IN SUPPORT OF
(ISO) THE OFFICE OF HOMELAND SECURITY SOUTHWEST BORDER
INITIATIVES, KNOWN AS OPERATION JUMP START.

OPERATION JUMP START IS NOT A CONTINGENCY. SPECIAL

CONTINGENCY BENEFITS AND ENTITLEMENTS DO NOT APPLY.

ACTIVE DUTY SANCTUARY:

It is imperative that all members' Personnel records be reviewed for sanctuary

eligibility PRIOR to being placed on orders. The following guidelines will apply:

a. If a member will reach active duty sanctuary within 24 months of entry onto
ADSW orders (regardless of the actual duration of their orders) the member
must waive their right to active duty sanctuary by signing the waiver found in
AF1 36-2131, attachment 5 . Waiver authority has been delegated to the
Adjutant General of each state in accordance with LOG#: 06-035, SUBJECT:
DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY TO ADMINISTER WAIVER PROCESS FOR
ACTIVE DUTY SANCTUARY, released 08 April 2006.
b. If a member enters or is converted to ADSW and it is later determined that
they will reach active duty sanctuary while in this status, there are two options
(I ) have the member execute a waiver of rights to active duty sanctuary prior
to reaching sanctuary; or (2) return the member to home station for
deactivation prior to reaching sanctuary. If the member will not waive their
right to active duty sanctuary, the state should execute option (2).
 c. An oversight resulting in a member qualifying for active duty sanctuary will
require the state to accommodate the members' retention using its own full
time AGR resource, not this authority.

 For Traditional Guardsmen and Technicians who will sewe in a military status,
active duty (Title 32) orders and travel orders can be combined on one order for
personnel who will be TDY IS0 OJS in the AOR (Texas, Arizona, New Mexico,
California). They must have a TDY order to travel (CED orders will NOT be published
for this operation).

- Unit Orders Specialists will generate the order and send a copy of
the order(s) to the MSF for update in MilPDS utilizing the EDR (Emergency
Disaster Response) transaction. The EDR NAMEJCode for OJS is "AD" (Jump
Start-SW Border).

- Unit Orders Specialists will generate a Home-station order for personnel

supporting personnel deploying.

- Please note that the current IAOS order system only gives you the capability to
select Title 10-ADSW for the order. Since this is a system glitch, you must
ensure that the remarks section states that the "Airman is performing duty in
support of Operation Jump Start (OJS) in a Title 32 status."

As with the hurricane operations of 2005, EDR update instnrctions will be

coordinated between AFPC and NGBIAI PR and sent to all MSF's ASAP. We are
currently working with Air Staff and AFPC to acquire additional Resewe Active Duty
Reasons in MilPOS to utilize for this and any future type operation with ANG
involvement (T32 ADSWIFTNGD, AT, ST, AGR, SAD, etc.).

Please ensure that units are updating the duty status of all ANG personnel
supporting the relief effort on 32 USC 502(f)(2) in Duty Status Code "64" for deploying
personnel to the supported area and "73"for personnel supporting OJS at home station.

The current LO1 calls for the establishment of a Central Site PERSCO Team to to
support the four states and nine Customs and Border Patrol (CBP)sectors. This will no
longer applicable since there will not be levy of the plan. However, PERSCO members
may be deployed into the four Supported States JTFs (Texas, Arizona, New Mexico and
California) for tracking and accountability reporting of personnel in the sectors to the
JTF and NGBJAl . As this is finalized, we will follow-up on subsequent personnel
guidance memorandums.

All orders will be published for validated 035 mission lengths as directed by
proper authority. Upon completion of OJS mission, the member will be released from
active duty immediately following out-processing and utilization of accrued leave (if
applicable).
 Members must use or sell back all accrued leave prior to expiration of their
orders. Orders will not be extended for members to take leave, or to complete out-
processing actions.

OJS is NOT a contingency operation. Members on 32 USC 502(f)(2) orders IS0

OJS are not entitled to contingency benefits related to the GWOT.

Contact your servicing finance ofice for specifics on fund citeslESP codes.
ESPlWUC code for this operation is "BP."

that orders are provided to DEERSIMPIDS users to be updated in the
DEERSlRAPlDS system for TRl CARE eligibility.

Special TRICARE benefits associated with contingency operations DO NOT

apply for this operation.

Prior to departure, members should ensure that they are in receipt of a valid
Common Access Card (CAC). For purposes of a timely reporting, members will not be
required to be issued new CAC's reflecting 'Air Force' only, CACs reflecting a 'Guard'
status are valid. While it is important for members to have valid CAC cards, we do not
want to delay mission accomplishment for the sole purpose of issuing cards. At a
minimum, you must ensure that all members are enrolled in DEERS and have valid
orders in hand prior to deploying.
